Problems with Squidguard after updating to CE 2.9.0

Tolian

After updating to CE 2.9.0, Squidguard won't install or launch properly.

The logs:
PHP ERROR: Type: 1, File: /usr/local/pkg/squidguard_configurator.inc, Line: 1004, Message: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot access offset of type string on string in /usr/local/pkg/squidguard_configurator.inc:1004 Stack trace: #0 /usr/local/pkg/squidguard_configurator.inc(392): sg_create_config() #1 /usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc(329): sg_reconfigure() #2 /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc(789) : eval()'d code(2): squidguard_resync() #3 /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc(789): eval() #4 /etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc(905): eval_once() #5 /etc/rc.packages(76): install_package_xml() #6 {main}

Whatever anyone says, I like this expansion. It's old-school and vanilla. :)
I'm not ready to part with it.

Fixe in file change:
/usr/local/pkg/squidguard_configurator.inc
squidguard_configurator.zip

You need to re-register the package:
php -r 'require_once("/usr/local/pkg/squidguard.inc"); squidguard_resync();'

php -r 'require_once("/etc/inc/config.inc"); require_once("/etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc"); install_package_xml("squidGuard");'

One more:

Unable to forward this request at this time.

Fix:
Services → Squid Proxy Server → General → Custom Options (Integrations)

;url_rewrite_access deny CONNECT;url_rewrite_access allow all

@Tolian said in Problems with Squidguard after updating to CE 2.9.0:

;url_rewrite_access deny CONNECT;url_rewrite_access allow all

ok, what exactly is that for?
for me, filtering seems to also work without these extra lines...

@dneuhaeuser Sometimes works as need, but simetimes got:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
The following error was encountered while trying to retrieve the URL: https://127.0.0.1/sgerror.php?

;url_rewrite_access deny CONNECT;url_rewrite_access allow all

helps to fix.

My experience.

If you have no problem, you don't need to fix it :)
